SECTION 7 - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (continued)
A. PFD Systems Description (continued)
Autopilot Integration
The Entegra PFD is fully integrated with the S-TEC System 55X Autopilot.
Reference bugs for Heading, Altitude, and Vertical Speed are provided on the
PFD to control the autopilot and aid pilot situational awareness. These bugs are
displayed with solid or hollow symbology depending on the autopilot status. If
the autopilot is engaged in that mode, the bug is solid to indicate the autopilot is
coupled to that bug. A hollow bug indicates the autopilot is not engaged in that
mode.
Autopilot mode annunciations are shown on the S-TEC System 55X computer.
When included as part of the installation, autopilot mode annunciations
including autopilot ready and fail indications are provided at the top of the
PFD screen.
When included as part of the installation, flight director command bars on the
PFD attitude indicator can be enabled by the pilot. When the flight director is
enabled and the autopilot is engaged in both lateral and vertical modes, the
flight director displays the goals of the autopilot.
A lateral autopilot mode must be engaged on the S-TEC System 55X before a
vertical mode can be engaged.
The flight director command bars will only be displayed on the PFD when
enabled by the pilot and when both lateral and vertical autopilot modes are
engaged.
